These Celebrities Appreciate Donald Trump in a Way You Don’t

With each day, the idea of a Donald Trump presidency becomes realer. The businessman with questionable hair is slaying the polls and has all but secured the GOP nomination. How did this happen? How did a reality TV star go from a political punchline to a viable, powerful candidate?

His supporters. And there are tons of ’em. They show up to his rallies in droves, do crazy s–t and chant his name relentlessly. It’s like nothing we’ve ever seen. Some of those supporters are high-profile celebrities. These 14 stars have praised Trump proudly and publicly. Are we missing something here? This is the man who coined a TV catchphrase à la Paris Hilton! And he is going to run the White House? We’re lost, but maybe Mike Tyson and Azealia Banks can help explain.

Don King was so enthused to let the world know he’s a Donald Trump supporter the famed boxing promoter, who Mike Tyson once referred to as a “reptilian motherf-cker,” used the N-word as he introduced the Republican presidential candidate to a predominately Black audience at a Cleveland church.

“Ok so, I think I’m ready to admit that I’m going to vote for Donald Trump,” Banks tweeted in February. “I think Trump is the only one who truly has the balls to bust up big business. Hilary [sic] is too tied in with them and Bernie has no clout.”

“Politics vs society. People should innerstand that politics is a business jus like the job you work at. I vote for @realDonaldTrump YEP 3,” Chingy tweeted earlier this year. However, he then qualified that with this tweet: “Everything I wrote has been taken completely out of context…but I’m trending though. lmao #LiveofACeleb #TwitterIsTheDevil #NoEndorsement.” But we still think he’s a Trump stan.

The Nation of Islam leader said, “I like what I’m looking at” in reference to the toupee wonder. However, he did lead with, “Not that I’m for Mr. Trump.” So, consider this a half thumbs-up.

The Vegas entertainer thinks Trump would make a great president. “Number one, he tells the truth,” he said on Fox and Friends. “Number two, he doesn’t have — he’s been where most of these guys want to be in terms of riding on his own plane. He doesn’t have to worry about what hotels he stays in. Doesn’t have to worry about how his family gets to Hawaii, so on and so forth.” C’mon OG Weezy!
